Hilde on "the Dragon"

Post by racingiron1 »

On the way back from the delivery of Rufus, a night in a cabin in the Smokey Mtns, then a day in dog-friendly Asheville, NC, we drove back across US129--a very famous route over the NC-TN border better known as "the Tail of the Dragon." It has 318 curves in 11 miles and has become a mecca of sorts for motorcycle and sportscar enthusiasts from all over the country. They get such a high volume of that traffic that there are several entrepreneur photographers that setup every weekend along the route to take pictures of each vehicle that passes to later sell on the web. Santa Claus must've deployed some of his elves out there this year, because I got some of these today:

This is the full version of the photo contest shot:

Tell us about yourself: I've had Belgian Malinois for years at my folks. I just got married, and a friend of mine who does search and rescue, had been keeping an eye out for Mali puppies for me. He came across a 9 month old Dutch Shepherd female pup who needed a home. She doesn't have the nerves to do the search and rescue she was intended for, but is perfect pet material. She's enough of a challenge to be alot of fun :)

In loving memory of Maiya, the best Dutch Shepherd. 2012-2013. At 14 months old, you had yet to live life to it's fullest. You touched our lives and will never be forgotten.
